Serri was an absolutely exceptional real estate agent, and we can't recommend her and her partner…read moreGeorge highly enough. We hired Serri to sell our five-acre property with an exceptional panoramic view, our beloved home, and from the very first walkthrough she was extremely professional and thorough. She inspected every bit of the home and grounds and immediately knew how to position it to meet our specific goal: a quick sale, at a strong price, with no lingering on the market and no price reductions. A previous agent had pitched our home as a retirement property, which never sat right with us. Serri saw it exactly as we did, as a family home, and priced and marketed it accordingly. She brought in her own staging team, photographer, and videographer (including drone footage), and recommended a handful of relatively small, inexpensive updates, including a fresh paint job. The return on those modest changes was remarkable. They made a huge difference in how the home showed and clearly helped drive up buyer interest and the final sale price. Serri and George held a single open house that brought in over 100 visitors, and within 48 hours we had two offers above our asking price, from a family with young children and another who was ready to start one. Both could clearly picture themselves living there. Serri and George managed every step of the process with great care and skill. We were also in the middle of an international move at the time, which made everything more stressful, and Serri and George took every worry off our plate. Whether you're buying, selling, or just need solid advice, Serri and George are fantastic, and we recommend them without hesitation.

While I'm originally from San Diego, I'm unfamiliar with the real estate market other than looking at properties on Zillow. While talking to a childhood friend, she recommended her realtor Erin and gave me her number. It felt too intrusive to call her personal cellphone so I decided to go to her website to learn more about her and ultimately decided to call the general number. Well, guess who answered?! lol Erin. I had to mute the phone shortly after she answered because I was awkwardly giggling to myself like a crazy person. I guess I just figured someone from her team would answer so it's funny I ended up talking to her anyway. We had a nice conversation. While I had many questions, she patiently answered them all. She offered locations to consider in my price range, townhomes and single family homes and places that don't charge an HOA. I thought HOA's were only on condo's, derp. Erin demonstrated to me that she's more interested in the relationship than the transaction and I respect that. We went ahead and scheduled an appointment at her office next week so she can help me with planning.

It was time for my mom to finally downsize to a home which would be more manageable; square footage to yard maintenance; for someone in their 80's. Therefore, I searched Yelp and after viewing the realtors on Yelp, Erin Wade stood out even before I read her reviews. I called Erin and set up a meet and greet with my mom and husband to discuss options for selling and buying a home in the area. From starting to finish, Erin was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth, stress-free and successful for my mom who has never had to deal with selling and buying a home for over 30+ years. Erin is incredibly knowledgeable about the market, communication was always clear and timely, and she responded to all texts and/or emails in a timely matter even while out of town for family event. If it just so happened Erin was not available, she assigned someone from her team to cover in her absence. Erin made sure we were kept in the loop on any information about the property my mom was selling and the one she was purchasing. Erin really catered to my mom's needs and to my husband and my expectations during the process. Overall, Erin made us feel we were the only customer even though we know that is not true. We; my mom, husband and I, are grateful to have found Erin Wade and her team to help my mom sell her home and find her forever home. If you are looking for a great, reliable, friendly and knowledgeable Realtor. Erin Wade is that Realtor. I will definitely call Erin Wade when I am in the market to sell my home.

If you want a real estate team that delivers results, look no further than Jackie Lowery, Steve…read morePloetz, and Eli Engle. From our initial strategy call to closing escrow, the team was outstanding. They guided us on exact home updates to maximize our ROI and provided top-tier contractor recommendations to get our home market-ready. They took the time to explain their pricing and listing strategy step-by-step, addressing every concern along the way. The strategy paid off: we had two solid offers above asking price within hours of our first open house and went into escrow in under a week. Selling our home was so seamless that it took a massive amount of stress off our next purchase. Every member of the SP&T team proved to be a consummate professional. I highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling in Southern California!

We are moving back to the North County area from the East Coast and had a very limited window to see houses in person. Ahead of our visit, Holly did a great job listening to what we wanted, providing options for us to review, and gathering feedback to distill the market down to houses that fit all of our parameters. During our house hunting trip, Holly tirelessly showed us house after house, including several day-of additions, to ensure that we had a solid understanding of the market. During this time, Holly did a great job of sticking to our original vision while adapting to our feedback as we started to better understand the market. Through this process, we felt we able to make an informed decision despite only having a few days in the area. On the last day, we found a home that was the right combination of all the things we wanted and needed for this next chapter of our lives. With a clear first choice, Holly fought hard to ensure that we were able to secure a winning offer. With her help and guidance we got the offer accepted just as we were getting ready to leave California at the end of our house-hunting trip! Getting that offer accepted was a huge victory, but Holly's effort and value did not stop there. Through every step of the the escrow process, Holly continued to advise us and fight for the best deal. This effort saved us a lot of money and made us feel confident that we truly walked away with the best price the market would allow. Even after closing Holly has continued to be a vital asset as we transition back to California. By conducting walk throughs and working with the selling agent to ensure that the property is ready for move in, Holly has once again shown that she is committed to ensuring that our best interests are represented through every aspect of the real estate buying experience. In addition to all of these wonderful qualities, working with Holly was fun! We had a great time getting to know her and she turned what could have been an absolute grind into an enjoyable and educational experience. She has our absolute highest recommendation!

I couldn't recommend Holly and the rest of the team at Shanfran Realty Group any higher. Buying a home is stressful, complicated and scary but Holly did an amazing job helping us through it all. Holly is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and she somehow made everything fun. Communication during this whole process is critical and Holly always found time for us and always responded quickly with insightful/strategic advice. We're going to miss our daily texts and calls with her! Again, there aren't enough positive words in the dictionary to describe Holly and our experience with her and the team. We're forever grateful and Holly will be the first one over for our house-warming dinner.

When we decided to sell our longtime home and started interviewing agents, a friend recommended…read moreJeff Pashby of the Lund Team. I'm so glad she did! We were immediately impressed by his knowledge of the area, his research on our neighborhood and the time he took to evaluate our property and really listen to our goals. We were nervous about selling because we hadn't yet found a home we wanted to buy, but Jeff answered all our questions and assured us we had options and decision-making power every step of the way. After we signed on, Jeff and his fellow agent, Tammy Barbee, were amazing throughout the process. They helped price our home fairly and get it ready for a successful open house. Tammy even brought over plants from her own home to use for staging. The open house was two days after we listed, and we were blown away by the turnout. Within a few days, we had multiple offers and were under contract for well over our list price. Of course, we still had to find a new place to live! With the clock ticking, Jeff and Tammy scoured listings and showed us homes in our preferred neighborhoods while keeping our home sale on track as it moved through escrow. When we found a home in our top-choice neighborhood, we worried our offer wouldn't be considered because it was contingent on the sale of our current home. Jeff made it happen. He helped us put together an attractive offer, communicated constantly with us and the other agent, and worked tirelessly to keep everything moving. In short, Jeff and Tammy helped us do what we weren't sure was possible: sell our home quickly and for a great price, find a new home in our top-choice neighborhood, and get both transactions across the finish line on a tight timeline. Through it all, they were knowledgeable, responsive, reassuring and genuinely invested in helping us reach our goals. We couldn't be happier with the outcome or more grateful to Jeff and Tammy for making a stressful process feel manageable. We would recommend them without hesitation.

Justin is a very relatable, down-to-earth person who takes the time to explain things - even if it's a simple question that most people know. I didn't know anything about buying a home, and he walked us through every step, answering our questions fully and also giving us pros and cons of each decision. Justin also made himself available every day of the week at all hours. I never waited more than 20 minutes for a text response from Justin about an update. He's not the type of agent who will leave you hanging and not respond - in fact, he encourages you to text him to check in and lets you know that he's happy to help anytime. I've heard horror stories of other agents being slow to respond, so this was a huge benefit. When going to see houses, Justin took the time to listen to what we liked, and after a few homes, already could tell what we were looking for. I liked that he sent us new listings via email every day so we could make sure we were consistently seeing the new homes as soon as possible. Justin also is the ONLY reason we have the house we do now. He quickly met us on the first day of the listing to see the house, and within 5 hours, we had an offer sent to the sellers. Justin was a phenomenal resource when figuring out how much to offer to be competitive, as well as how to strengthen other areas of our offer. Justin also connected with the seller's agent and helped push for our offer to be considered. Justin has a good reputation among other agents in San Diego, and I learned that other agents are happy to work with him and as a result, more likely to accept an offer from Justin's buyers. Throughout our escrow, Justin continued to remain available to us when we had questions. He met us at our home inspection, final inspection, and even offered to go to the house before close when one of our pieces of furniture arrived early. One of my favorite things about Justin is that he actually gives his opinion when asked. We had worked with a previous agent who never wanted to tell us what he thought - but when you're so new to this home buying process, you NEED professionals to help and give you the pros and cons. Not only is Justin an incredible agent, but he's just a cool guy. He always remained professional, but he's also super cool and can get along with anyone. I am SO grateful we had Justin as our agent, and I can say with 100% certainty, that if we didn't have Justin on our side, we would not have had our offer on our house accepted.
